FOUR armed bandits prised open a window on the lower flat of a house on Princess Street, Werk-en- Rust, Georgetown on Wednesday morning, robbing a 51-year-old businessman and a 30-year-old dentist of their valuables.

Reports indicate that the suspects entered the building at 06:30hrs; three of them were armed with handguns and the other with a cutlass.

The robbers confronted the couple and the businessman was dealt a broadside to his arm while the dentist was told to lay on the ground. They were both tied up.

The quartet then visited each room stealing electronics, jewellery, cash and cell phones after spending almost 45 minutes in the house before fleeing on foot in separate directions.
The couple managed to eventually free themselves and raised an alarm. The police were summoned and have since launched an investigation into the matter.
